Exercise: What is stored by a continuation?
Consider you started the following code in debug mode, and you are currently stopped at the line marked with // HERE. What is stored in the continuation variable?
import kotlin.coroutines.*
suspend fun a() {
val c = 12345
suspendCoroutine { it.resume(Unit) }
suspendCoroutine { continuation ->
continuation.resume(c) // HERE
}
println(c)
}
suspend fun main() {
val a = "ABC"
val b = listOf(1, 2, 3)
println(b)
a()
println(a)
}
